08' Escape Hybrid Purchase by lancejohnson

Just got my '08 FWD three days ago. Don't have buyers remorse yet, so I guess we are off to a good start .
 
I don't think I got a 'great' deal but overall I am happy. Base + Nav + moon roof.
 
MSRP w/ options: $29,430
Invoice w/ options: $27,366
Total before rebate & t/t/f's: $28,379
Rebate: $545
They had another rebate of $500 but opted for the 3 year 3.9% financing. Was going to pay cash but seemed better to get financing and keep the money in a money market at 5.4%.
 
Total w/o t/t/f's: $27,834.. could have been $27,334 if I would have taken additional rebate.
 
One beef I had with the process was slow turnaround on the order. They didn't have options we wanted on the lot so we ordered the car. They said it would take 6-8 weeks for it to come in and it ended up taking about 11.

Is it fare to suggest 800-1000 under invoice as some people have reported on this site? I have a quote on 2008 escape hybrid, leather, siri radio, 4WD for 30,570 MSRP...offer is 28,200. This seems high to me...any suggestions? Thanks.

Pricing Plans by cloftus

I am reading about A/X Pricing plans. Please explain to me what they are. Are they available on the 08 Escape? Thanks, I'm shopping & no dealers in my area (Central Florida) have one on their lot. I'm not sure my timing is so good, since gas is over $3.00 right now.

Those plans are restricted to relatives of Ford employees. My son-in-law works for Ford in Dearborn, MI and thus we are eligible for the Ford A plan price. It is a firm price slightly below dealer invoice. Not sure what the qualifications are for the X PLan, but suspect they are similar.

Thanks. Does it count if we have an uncle that retired from Ford in Dearborn, MI? I was told by my cousin that they get a 25% discount.

I would ask your cousin or uncle. The good thing about the programs is that the sell price is set so there is no negotiation involved and there are no other fees. What you get for a trade-in and the dealer's willingness to sell you a vehicle at those prices varies depending on demand, etc..

Adam,
Can you tell me how your formula applies for my 2008 ford escape hybrid purchase. My MSRP with options price is $27,825. Invoice price with options is $26,300. What should I be offering the dealer according to your formula?
thanks

kryates,
I would... If you had the correct information. Something's wrong there--your invoice price is too high. Even if you're including the destination fee (which isn't part of the "invoice" price... It's just a fee added on--the "MSRP" however, includes the destination fee).

Where are you all finding the 2008 Hybrids-- Are they all in California? I think I'm going to have to order one.
But if I do find one, I'm going to fight to make them take the FDAF assessment off my invoice---How can they charge an advertising fee for a car that they don't have on their lots? They keep telling me they are selling like mad---but then I ask them if they have any on order & they say NO! Someone's lying!

I have a dealer who is promising $100 over invoice, (Fleet sales), When he shows me the invoice, there are three prices on it. He says the offer is on the higher price. What gives? Anyone know what the three prices stand for? Also, what is the holdback and what is included in the higher invoice price.
 
thanks
